Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan compared the current crypto market fatigue to the mid-2018 downturn, when many participants grew weary and exited the market. He said the market may need time to absorb the lingering effects of the election, Binance, and restrictive monetary policy. Hougan pointed to the DeFi innovation that broke the 2018 slump as a precedent for what could revive sentiment. The comparison matters because it frames today's malaise as a sentiment cycle rather than a structural break, implying patience may be required. What to watch next is whether a comparable catalyst—potentially in DeFi—emerges to reset market psychology.
